November 22, 201213 yr Author comment_637389 didnt want to push it mate, letting them bed in ,but it feels like there is more to the brakes, if that makes sense? will give it a run down the range over the next day or so and test it a bit there is little body roll now tho..! Report
November 22, 201213 yr comment_637393 What'd you do ? Drop me off and shoot off home :P looks like rears are same diameter, but are thicker, and slotted or vented, W/E its called Vented, is the word your after. Slotted is on the braking surface of the rotors. Hows the brake pedal travel feel with the quad pot calipers ? I'm wondering if the master cylinder would be able to cope with them. Whats the front sway bar on the impreza like ? If its thicker i'd be inclined to swap it over as well. With that thick rear bar you'll be introducing oversteer, possibly even "lift-off" oversteer. Nolathane ? http://www.superpro.com.au/ http://www.nolathane.com.au Report
November 22, 201213 yr Author comment_637405 thanks mate. and yeah all nolathane eventually. jsut can't afford to spend money on her for a while. just swapping bits from the impreza isnt costing me anything :-) will test drive her a bit over the weekend. and mos def I'll look at the front swaybar comparison too Report
November 22, 201213 yr comment_637416 I wouldn't go full nolathane, gotta keep some give in the joints, you'll notice it on the streets Report
